Castilla y Leon is Spain's high inland plateau, the source of some of the country's most sought-after red wines. WineFortune tracks two wines here from two producers, both indexed and both listed in the shop, all from the Ribera del Duero DO.
The region's reds are built on Tempranillo, known locally as Tinto Fino, grown at altitude in a continental climate of hot days and cold nights. The style is still red wine of depth and structure, made for the cellar, with the DO designation governing the appellation's rules.
The WineFortune index median for the region stands at 507.67 € per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days. The two wines on the index are Dominio de Pingus, Pingus at a median of 858.33 € per 75 cl, and Vega Sicilia, Valbuena 5.° at 157 € per 75 cl. Critics' aggregates across four reviews average 94.5 points on the 100-point scale, with a top score of 96 and a median drinking window from 2026 to 2038.
